Ecologists want to model the occupancy dynamics of a particular species "Species" across these habitats over time using a discrete time discrete state stochastic process. State Space: State 0: Species X is absent from all habitats. State 1: Species X is present in Habitat A State 2 : Species X is present in Habitat B. State 3: Species X is present in Habitat C. State 4: Species X is present in Habitats A&B State 5: Species X is present in Habitats A&C. State 6: Species X is present in Habitats B&C. State 7: Species X is present in All Habitats. Transition Probabilities: Rule 1: The probability of colonizing an adjacent habitat is 0.2. Rule 2: The probability of extinction from a habitat is 0.15.
